But unlike the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market  Technical Drawing 101 aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty  and assimilated by students  in one semester. Both mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal. The authors have also created extensive video training (137 videos  18.5 hours total) that is included with every copy of the book. In these videos the authors start off by getting students comfortable with the user interface and demonstrating how to use many of AutoCADs commands and features. The videos progress to more advanced topics where the authors walk students through completing several of the projects in the book. The CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units  limits  and layers)  the tools of the Draw  Modify  and Dimension toolbars  and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD  Technical Drawing 101 provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space  viewports  xrefs  annotative scaling  etc.) in intermediate CAD courses. In recognition of the diverse career interests of our students  Technical Drawing 101 includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field  and that a traditional technical drawing text  which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects  holds little interest for these students. The multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials are intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and  it is hoped  future enrollments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646784397365,"sku":"ByrdShop_1630573426","price":41.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781630573423.jpg?v=1781678438","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/technical-drawing-101-with-autocad-2021-9781630573423","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
